8.When your child begins to believe only the worst about life, let your own hope radiate through your conversation

and choices so that hope will dawn in your child’s heart.9.When your child suffers from envy, let your invitation to believe that God provides all we need heal your child’s wounded feelings.10.When your child is fearful, teach that faith dissolves fear when we walk together with God.11.When your child feels alone and lonely, introduce your child to the “communion of saints” the faithful living and dead that support and surround us throughout our days.12.When your child acts as though material reality is all that matters or exists, make an extra effort to relate the deeper, spiritual person inside your child using music, film, stories, and service of others who are in need.
